Jester's Jackpot Slots (Microgaming)

Jesters Jackpot by Microgaming is just another example of how classic slots continue to thrive even after years of technological innovation. Various brands come out with new games with exceptional special features and all sorts of modern qualities, and still some players are just drawn to the classics. Maybe it's nostalgia or maybe it's human nature. However, if there's one brand that knows how to put out a classic slot, it's Microgaming. The company has been around for years at this point, and is one of the oldest online gambling software developers aside from RealTime Gaming and a couple others. They've been doing this a long time.

Microgaming was purposefully old school in this case. Microgaming focused on an old school atmosphere, with seemingly basic game play elements combined with other classic symbols and graphics. The experience is familiar in the best way, and simple enough new gamblers should be able to easily grasp the rules of Jester's Jackpot. This game is fully functional on a mobile phone and also functional on a laptop or desktop computer. It's playable in demo mode, so you can test out the game for free for a while before you make a commitment to actually wagering money on it.

As you'd probably expect, Jester's Jackpot is visually minimalist, with notably retro graphics. The background of the slot itself is blue, the game logo is visible, and it has a jesters' hat. The majority of the game grid includes the reels and a payable which is available on the right-hand side. Meanwhile, there are command buttons located at the bottom of the game where you can adjust the volume of the game, and the spinning capacities. Microgaming ensured this game was as easy as possible to use. It's played on three reels and features a single pay line. To land a win, you need to trigger winning combinations of symbols that land on the aforementioned pay line, which will award cash prizes. The size of your winnings will depend on the type of symbols along with the amount of money you bet. There's also a command bar located below the reels where you can place a new bet. You can also easily adjust your wager to fit your preferences, but obviously, the more you bet, the greater your rewards will be.

Symbols

As a slot player, you'll likely recognize several of the symbols available on the reels. Most of them are quite recognizable regardless of experience level. They have single bar signs and cherries, they also have special jester bar symbols and jesters hats.

Landing combinations are interesting in this game because some combinations are completely mixed, and can contain more than one type of symbol. Cherry symbols can be mixed with two other identical symbols or two different symbols, and will still award a prize. Bar signs can be mixed and will award up to 15x your wager in the process. The rewards of the symbols in general depend on the number of coins put on the table at the start of your spins. You can play 1, 2 or 3 coins.

If you're playing for the prizes, Jester's Jackpot can award up to 2400x your prize when a jester's hat combination lands on the reels with three coins your wager. This is a hard combination to score, but not impossible.
